Tragically

America was home to another mass shooting over the weekend. 

A gunman walked into a Wisconsin hair salon on Sunday and opened fire – killing his wife and two other women, along with wounding four others before killing himself. The shooter had a history of domestic abuse charges and was recently arrested for slashing his wife's tires. This marks the second mass shooting of the year in Wisconsin – where in August a man walked into a Sikh Temple and killed 7 people including himself. Guns falling easily into the hands of the mentally disturbed is a uniquely-American problem that our politicians aren't doing nearly enough to solve.

If the gun laws in place didn't work, more gun laws won't either.

How can guns falling easily into the hands of the mentally disturbed a uniquely American problem? Just watch the international news! I dare to say that there is an epidemic of senseless violence going on in many parts of the world!

If our existing laws are enforced, guns would for the most part not fall into their hands. This, as all the other incidences, begs the same question; Did the crazy man, after his diagnosis, walk in and have the ability to buy a legal firearm. Next, was the crazy man, upon his diagnosis, forced to sell/ surrender his legal firearms? Maybe I have not read the article that answers this, and with the huge MSM out there that cannot seem to find any investigative reporters in America, I probably not have the opportunity to.

If only more hair stylist were packin' at their chairs we'd all be ok. Surely they would've stopped the guy. Obvious sarcasm here
